Choosing industrial ductwork shouldn’t come down to the price per foot of straight pipe. While spiral pipe may offer a lower initial material cost, US Duct and US Tubing are designed as complete systems that provide advantages in installation speed, durability, adjustability, sealing, and long-term value. This article compares spiral pipe with US Duct and US Tubing, highlighting key differences in construction, connections, leakage performance, field installation, and lifecycle costs. US Duct offers a strong, modular, adjustable solution for dust collection, most fume applications, and industrial air movement, while US Tubing provides a guaranteed leak-free connection for applications where air or fluid cannot escape. With clamp-together installation that can reduce installation time by approximately 70%, plus components that can be disassembled, modified, and reused, US Duct and US Tubing can deliver value well beyond the initial material price. The right choice ultimately depends on the system’s specific requirements for strength, sealing, installation speed, adjustability, and long-term flexibility.
Flange Adapters
Details
Flange Adapters let you switch between flanged duct and clamp-together duct in one fitting. A flange on one end bolts to your existing flanged duct, equipment ports, or any component with a companion flange, while the other end drops straight into your clamp-together run. It's the bridge between two duct systems, letting you tie modern ductwork into existing flanged lines without reworking the whole system.
Features
- Rolled-lip end connects to Quick Clamp Clamp-Together Duct (CTD)
- Galvanized steel (24 ga 3-inch, 22 ga 4–12-inch, 20 ga 14–18-inch)
- Switches between flanged duct and clamp-together duct
- Installs quickly on the clamp-together side, bolts securely on the flange side
- Flange end bolts to flanged duct, equipment, or components
